OsinO Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 Hehe, I know the topic sounds worse then it really is Im not bashing the manual or anything, just that there is one certain thing that the manual didnt explain well enought for me to understand, so I thought the great guys at this forum might help. Anyways here is where im confused: In the QUICK BATTLE section, it says <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Battle Type: Assault, Attack, Probe, or Meeting Engagement. This determines the force balancing (how many points the defender gets, how many the attacker), the map size, whether the defender may have fortifications, as well as victory flag placement.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Now is it saying that depending on what battle type you choose the 2 forces may not have equal amount of points at disposal? Can someone explain this a bit better? I know what assault, attack and meeting engagement are, but I dont know what Probe is and how each of these affects the things it was explaining... Also one more thing: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Force Size: 500-1000 points. These are the maximum points allowed for the DEFENDER.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Hmmmm...Is it saying that even if you set it up to a 1500 point game the defender wont get to waste more then 1000 points? Or vice versa? Hehe Any answers would be greatly appreciated. ------------------ ¤§ïѤ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kb9sog Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 If you make a Meeting Engagement QB. (1000) Both sides = the same number of points. If you make an Attack QB. (1000) Defender = 1000 points Attacker = 1500-1700 points If you make an Assault QB. (1000) Defender = 1000 points Attacker = 2000-2200 points I have no idea what the disposition of points are for a probe though. When you set the parameter for number of points. You are setting the bar for the how many points the defender gets. The scenario type then takes that figure and roughly give the attacker 1.5 times the points for an attack and roughly 2 times the points for an assault. (You won't be able to setup a 1500 point game until 1.3 version patch comes out.) Hope that answers your questions. ------------------ BJ Simpson Visit www.arrl.org for information about Ham Radio.

OsinO Posted July 26, 2000 Author Share Posted July 26, 2000 AWESOME! Thats just the answer I was looking for! I still dont know what a probe is... Does anyone else know? <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>You won't be able to setup a 1500 point game until 1.3 version patch comes out.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Hmmmm I have version 1.02 of the game and I can setup a QB upto 5000 ------------------ ¤§ïѤ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 A Probe is an operation where you are attempting to find out about enemy dispostions--looking for weaks spots, etc. Hope this helps a bit.. -------Chris ------------------ Land Soft--Kill Quiet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how is it different from an Advance? The manual does not (so far as I have been able to discover) define these terms. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
